Yes but water not wator

Ooooorrrrrr throw the cap away on day 1 and just put the detergent in directly. It's not baking, the volumes can be off by a little and by the age of "first doing laundry + 5 years" you should have it dialed.

LPT: use powdered detergent. Liquid detergent is a ripoff and is bad for your machine and clothing

Probably not trash people and more just unaware of the strengths of fragrances, along with the knowledge that the fragrance shouldn’t be noticeable to yourself if you’re wearing one. If you smell you even after like 30 min to an hour of application, they smell you waaaay more. (Unless you’re spraying straight into the nostrils.)

This “tip” is part of the instructions printed on the packaging, along with “Add detergent first, then add clothes.”

Just wipe the cup using the clothes you are about to wash. It saves water too.

Thank you for clearing that up! I’ll make an edit.

Enjoy the growth you’re experiencing.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you can rinse the cup while the washer is still filling up with wator

Edit: Definitely did not think about newer washers. The one we use was made before the 00’s. Sorry folks!

Oh okay POTS says it's a fluids and salt issue Definitely checks out

Thanks, that's reassuring. I've never had health issues, aside from this annoying "condition".

Bruhhhh wait I get head rushes every time I stand up too quick and I'm not even twenty. Is this a vitamin issue?😅 I've always had this

I've been doing that trick for as long as I can remember, and fully agree. Doesn't make sense not doing it.

Yeah, Im a nurse and have done it on patients lol

Will they do it for you? I had a doctor who suggested I buy an ear thingy to do it myself but it’s too gross so I haven’t yet lol

These are solutions to two completely different problems. The valsalva maneuver (holding your nose while blowing out from your nose) can equalize the air pressure in your middle ear, which is behind the ear drum. The warm water/peroxide helps with was build up in the outer ear, outside of the ear drum. There's no reason why both would be used for a single issue since they are unrelated problems and only one of these has any relevance to each problem.

Just don’t forget about it and accidentally throw it in the dryer as well

All you have to do is flex your abdominal muscles. It works

That’s brutal. Trash people covering up something. I run outdoors on a very popular trail on the water and I can smell some people overuse of fragrance from yards away. I’m outside with a breeze! What’s wrong with these animals.

gross.
